Anglesey

Anglesey Golf Club dates back to 1914, and the double Open Champion Harold Hilton (one of the only three amateurs to ever take the claret jug that was once in use) created the course, that is situated on the west shore of the Isle of Anglesey. The champion golfer of 1920, George Duncan, is also acknowledged for his further changes, so a lot of top-quality experience was incorporated into the layout during its early years.

The club was established at the beginning of First World War, the activities of the club were halted thirty years later, during World War II when the RAF was able to take over 14 courses. RAF Valley is still a highly active airfield that is located close to the course, instructing future fast jet combat pilots however, the flying forces have their own nine-hole golf course, and the club has been able to rebuild their missing holes.

The course is described as a plain, seaside links course with a semblance of heathland, Anglesey extends to just more than 6,300 yards. It has tiny, lightly bunkered greens, the occasional semi-blind or blind shot, and a fantastic par four hole that the second shot is required to carry an incoming river to the green. Campsites and caravans are nearby, lending the feeling of a holiday golf course to the course.
